Why are you trying to shill this faggot? His schtick is pretty boring at this point.

what's a fair price for a brand new explorer from the grey market? i'm seeing "very good" ones on chrono for around USD 7,800-8,000. while i can afford it, i just don't know if that's a fair price. it retails for way less.

What's the ref of this watch?

what model datejust for a first watch bros

>>17835282
AQ6021-51E

>>17835285
Thanks senpai, bit pricey for me, guess ill stick to radio controlled.

>>17835289
Yeah, this is one of those rare times when Citizen makes a top of the line solar watch that can be pulled off as a dress watch, and it ends up being expensive as shit. At that price point, you are better off buying anything from a Grand Seiko to a Rolex or Omega.

>>17835297
To be fair the point of that citizen is its movement, which is the most accurate quartz movement ever made.

>>17835298
IMO, it's pretty badass for Citizen to make such an accurate movement, but they also managed to make the dial and overall case size of the watch pretty neat too. I would honestly get it for the dial alone, but at the price it currently sits on the 2nd hand market I'd rather have something like a Rolex, Omega or any of the usual suspects in the $3k-$6k price range

>>17835245
Penis Quartz era of Seiko watches had some real gems as far as dials go.

>>17835307
Yeah

Absolutely love them.
Don't care much for the type2, but the older ones, especially the 34mm Lord quartz' are amazing little watches.
The dials of the morpho's qt/qr/qz's are great too, still looking to get one sometime.
Pic rel. not mine but same model/make

>>17835328
>Don't care much for the type2
They look and feel much more premium then the price would suggest. Mine is in great condition and i am honestly amazed by how good it looks every time i wear it. They're lovely little watches.

>>17835333
I'll take a look at one, sometimes a really nice one floats up with interesting dials. I still need some color in my collection.
I recently purchased a Tudor Prince Date (also 34mm) because of the way the dial looked.
pic rel. again, not mine but same make/model

>>17835339
Nice.

>>17835328
I personally like Type II's better in some cases, they feel and look extremely well-made and if you have one in a really great condition they look more expensive than they actually are.
>>17835333
Agreed, and II's are usually in much better condition too.
>>17835339
That dial is pretty savage ngl.

Someone posted their new rawlex in a group chat I'm in. Shocking display hahahha

I love Bulova and i dont even care. The first watch on the Moon.

>>17835346
hahahahaha

Going out of the Quartz Seikos for a moment, Advan series of watches was really wild in its design and how they were made. Those crystals are now extremely rare, if you have an Advan with a broken crystal you are pretty much forced to thundercunt the old crystal and replace it with a flat one.

>>17835350
They also had some insane dials on those watches. IIRC there were mother-of-pearl dials in there as well.

>>17835352
Yeah, but what about theeese though?

>>17835353
Damn bro that dial is fire. I also forgot to mention that the faceted crystals aren't an Advan only thing. Pic rel is an automatic

>>17835350
>>17835352
Not just the Advan, some Type IIs and Actus had faceted crystals as well. Grand Seikos too. The first three SARBs had them also.

>>17835354
>>17835357
hivemind

>>17835357
>>17835358
No, no, cheers anon it's good to have someone who knows more than me also get into it. Those dials are absolutely incredible as well. I completely forgot about Actus and I had no idea vintage GS's having any at all.

Also I found an ad showing VANAC series of KS watches also having faceted crystals.

>>17835361
They were going at it pretty hard ngl.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVoQMlR2o6A

This video is incredible in showing the details.

>>17835361
>VANAC
I meant vanac, not actus, my bad.

>>17835374
Actually you were right Anon, Actus series of Seikos also had faceted crystals.

Love me Stowa

>>17835298
Isn't the bulova precisionist just as accurate and far cheaper?

>>17835393
Never-ending just googled. +- 1 sec is so cool

Is this the Tudor "I can't afford Rolex" target audience lol.

which one do i buy bros at the store rn

>>17835465
Not the one with the diamonds that's for sure. I'd go for the one on the right.

>>17835465
Or the two tone.

>>17835471
Eh, Wimbledons aren't that nice either. Can only work in specific situations since the dial is kinda busy with the numerals and the many different colors of the grey/green/gold etc
The one on the right seems to be the most timeless, I would go with that one.

>>17835474
Oh i didn't notice that's a Wimbledon, i thought it was just a black dial version. Never mind then.

>>17835465
right

the one on the right has a 4k premium above msrp lmao

>>17835298
Is the 0100 really that accurate though? From what I've been reading of their other HAQ Eco-drives, chronomasters etc., is that they promise a lot but in practice you might not actually get that stated yearly accuracy. The percentage of watchfags who report less than rated accuracy, ie. the only types who would actually buy these watches AND actually measure their accuracy, is too high for me to believe that any given 'The Citizen' would actually get the rated spy OOTB.

Is there a website where i can read about watch brands and their accomplishments?
I have read about Bulova yesterday and the company is amazing. Wolrd first electronic watch, most accurate watches ever, been on the Moon etc.

>>17835487
Please fill the rest out >>17835418

i am convinced that the omega aquaterra is the most "reddit" watch in existence

>>17835491
tudor

>>17835393
It's pretty accurate but the watches look like garbage in real life and the batteries only last about a year

>>17835392
I'm torn because I have 7.5" wrists so the 41mm would look better, but I like the full size second hand on the 40mm.

I want a everyday quartz watch. I can get this for 300€ . Or should I get PRX,Casioak, maybe bulova lunar

>>17835527
I’d get it, the prx is cheaply made and overplayed, casioak offers nothing over this model, and the bulova is gonna run you a bit more, though it is a cool watch.

>>17835513
I own a jet star and it looks amazing. Picrel

>>17835532
The PRX doesn't feel cheap, the bracelet is great

>>17835540
No offense but I don't think it looks very good at all. The shape, color theme, etc, on a macro level I don't have much of a problem with it, but the F&F is really quite awful. If they took the basic pattern and actually put high tier finish I wouldn't have a problem with it.

>>17835483
Not only that but if you're not an ethnic japanese in japan with japanese citizenship speaking in a perfect kanto accent they will tell you to eat shit if you have a warranty issue

Grand Seiko may have their issues but at least they'll talk to their customers

>>17835547
Offence taken. I hope you get crushed by a steamroller. I love it

>>17835565
I'll take it. That would be an amazing way to die

neat, my Orient has the same style of markers

give me a good reason not to buy a baltic gmt shitter

>>17835583
Because you can get the san martin versions on aliexpress cheaper

>>17835586
not him but also I have not checked on watches in quite some time, what's the deal with all these new homages aka chink clones? san martin, sugess (Semen), pagani design
they seem pretty good spec wise except the movements or whatever seem to fall apart or some dogshit
what's the deal

>>17835346
>>17835613
I'd argue this is even worse.
Someone bought some big rubber protector that didn't even come with the watch to put around it,
And worst of all, it looks to be made for a sub and this fucker put it on a Datejust.
There's no excuse

>>17835613
You don't get it, anon. The buildup of dead skin cells underneath the sticker adds to the VALUE.

>>17835615
Garbage microbrand that somehow "went legit" after enough idiots fell for the spam and bought their "minimalist" (no effort) crap for years and years. Granted "going legit" in this case just means having enough money to pay off the major watch reviewers on youtube, but the point is they made it, and the people pushing all these drop ship shitters are hoping to do the same

>>17835527
300 is a good price for the gmw

>>17835616
that might be a fake then the fakes ship with a different type of bezel cover
>>17835617
how do you even get a sticker left on a rolex since it's mandatory for them to remove stickers on sales anyway?
that means he might have applied after market himself, which makes him a double faggot

ah I think I remember the trident 300 from long ago now
still nasty evil shitters

>>17835574
>entire complication to denote whether it's march or it's not march
kinda based

>>17835491
At the moment? Probably any russian watch so Vostok or Raketa.

>>17835622
>that might be a fake then the fakes ship with a different type of bezel cover
I don't think that a fake ships with any type of cover, that would be too much work. Those covers are probably Aliexpress-tier anyway.

>how do you even get a sticker left on a rolex since it's mandatory for them to remove stickers on sales anyway?
Depends on the type of watch. I know from Cartier that they always deliver the watch with a sticker on the back once it comes back from service for example.

>>17835491
A rolex

>>17835607
They're good quality for the price and the movements are usually just Seikos. I've not had any problems with mine. San Martin quality is probably on par or better than Baltic for 50% of the price

>>17835393
Precisionist 262 are "only" 5s per month I thought, compared with +/-15s per month of regular cheapo quartz. Compared with Citizen's 1s or even GS 9F's 10s a year which is conservative as those that have measured have found it performing 8 or 5s.

>>17835285
GS quartz is in the 3k range. I can't justify double the price just for solar recharging.
All batteries eventually die, so you might have to replace the battery 5~7 years down the line anyway.

>>17835418
None (retired)
None
Damasko DA43

>>17835718
Also the GS takes a normal generic battery whereas the Citizen requires something with proprietary soldered leads with a Citizen part #. You could *probably* just remove the ones from your existing battery and solder them onto a generic rechargeable but who really wants to do that

>>17835695
Hey thats pretty good. Shame its a citizen.

>>17835348
hold on so the original had a 30 minute chronograph dial but they changed it to a cramped 60 minute one in the re-release?

>>17835736
The original was also smaller. And had automatic movement.

>>17835703

Line up approximate to the seconds when you set the correct time, and then at the next full minute you swing the minute hand a little back or forth to be on point.

>>17835902
I started thinking the gmt2 is a better variant of the sub seeing as 300m water resistance is pointless in reality
then I realized you also get a more busy dial though, then I also started wondering why I need 3 timezones, which I don't either
then I also realized there is no glidelock on the gmt
then I once wondered if the sub is indeed based

f-91w on a leather strap

>>17835906
Just put a glidelock on it. I put one on my 16710 from ebay. The brushed bracelet is way better and fits the old style anyway

>>17835991
What’s your budget?

>>17836001
can u buy the clasp or do u need to swap the entire oyster bracelet?
imagine buying new and having to drop even more to get a secondary bracelet, if they even sell it new, or getting a counterfeit one
the new 41 sub does not even have the same bracelet as the older/new gmt does it? 20mm vs 21mm and all that
have not looked into it anyway

Stop recommending the F-91W RIGHT NOW

Old Aqua Terra guts that got replaced in a recent service. I wanted to upload it a few days ago

>>17836009
You can just get the clasp if you want. From what I've seen it should be able to be fit to the old oyster bracelet. It won't work on a jubilee though

>>17836007
$80 at max, but that is the highest I can reasonably do in the near future

>>17836162
Theyre gay and rounded

>>17835282
That's my picture. I'm flattered, admittedly.

>>17835289
If you only get one, then it's worth every penny.

>>17835302
The benefit is that the design is comprehensive; everything from the bracelet to the lugs is reminiscent of the AT crystal that regulates the watch. It's perfection in design, and that's why it's worth the price. The accuracy is a big part, sure, and that's the main reason I bought it. But Citizen didn't sleep on the aesthetic when they wanted to debut the watch...they thought of every index, every corner, every polish. They're far more respectable a brand than many take them for.

>>17835483
Yes, mine was only beaten by my Zenith 5011k chronometer. It's about half a second behind per year. The stated yearly accuracy is correct, at least for my watch. Remember that the accuracy is measured by the factory before it leaves, so it's unlikely to change once it's shipped to you. You can't alter the rate, of course...but the Japanese don't fuck around.

>>17835553
Haven't had a warranty issue yet, and I wear it periodically (while making sure it still gets sun).

>>17835718
Yes, I too am curious as to when I have to replace the battery. I'll keep you Anons updated on that one...when it occurs. Also, bear in mind that Citizen has started putting the 0100 movement in less expensive watches with prettier dials...I almost wanted to get another one.

>>17835980
Stay healthy, friend, and do keep posting awesome pics that are more creative than mine. I hope you are well. My fave pic of yours is still the one where the watch is 'hiding' behind the wall or glass or whatever it was. Fucking hilarious, beautiful, and direct....a wonderful shot.

>hold your loved ones close, my friends...you never know when they'll be gone forever.

>>17835483
Do you have any questions for me? Incidentally, I haven't actually read any reports of the watches failing in their accuracy or any other way....if you have, let me know, I'd be curious to read.

>my favorite quartz with my favorite mechanical

>>17836162
reminds me of an Orient Star

>>17836207
Didn't orient kill off the orient star line?

>>17836214
Orient Star discontinued certain models after years of release

chronograph owners: how often do you use it?

I got a dive watch and I use the bezel daily to time stuff and I wonder how a mechanical chronograph will take daily use. also how legible are the small dials compared to a big dive bezel? and do you ever use the seconds and hours on your chronograph? so far I didnt need to time more than 60 minutes and I never time anything where the seconds matter

>>17836235
I use two chronographs at work, independently. So, every day, to answer your first question.

The small dials work provided you are used to reading at a quick glance what the elapsed time is, but it'll never be as fast as a central-minutes counter or a bezel. I can activate them sight-unseen, and I can refer to them at a glance.

>pic related: my dailies.

>>17836240
r u an astronaut?

>>17836245
No. But time is important, and I stay in shape as best I can. Incidentally, I tried on the Bulova Lunar Pilot the other day...it isn't a Speedmaster replacement or place-holder. It's simply inferior.

>>17836250
I'm kind of sad about Bulova, I feel like the brand has enough street cred that they could make better watches and charge more for them, but they're basically a notch above Timex. Nothing wrong with Timex but it's always been meant to be a cheapo. Bulova was a real watch. If they made them just a little less shitty they'd fill a unique niche that nobody else fills.

>>17835489
I would have to say grand seiko is more reddit

>>17836266
Redditors don't have the money for that. I would say Seiko 5.

>>17836257
I was sad too. But I think I've been spoiled, to a degree. You'll see lots of YTube videos describing the Lunar Pilot as a 'replacement' or 'alternative' to the Omega Speedmaster...but quite honestly it's just wishful thinking. I find that in terms of finishing, movement, etc., Bulova still feels a step below Longines. whether that's fair or not is another question...but it's the impression I get from handling the watches in person.

Bulova could get around this by making designs that people want for that design, rather than ones that are unfavorably compared to others. But that's difficult in this field, if not impossible, so I can't fault them for trying the path of least resistance.

>even the smaller Mark 40 beats out the modern Lunar Pilot in terms of finishing and potential ability. Performance will be comparable IF the watch is adjusted to the owner, like mine. The price is comparable as well.

>>17835808
I skipped Timex to make it just Japanese brands.

FOR ME ITS THE SSK001

>>17836276
it ok, the most hyped poorfag office gmt

>>17836271
Maybe I'm not clear, so I'd like to be.

Does anyone ask, 'why is the Rolex Submariner a better alternative to the Omega Seamaster'? No, because the Rolex is superior, and everyone knows it.

Interestingly enough, when it comes to designs, no one puts up a YouTube video talking about the...'best alternative to the Universal Geneve Poulrouter'. There is no alternative...you get the real thing, or you go home.

So, the point I'm getting at is that the Lunar Pilot will always be a cope; partially due to the use of a quartz movement vs. a mechanical, but also because it'll never be perceived as the original intent. Obviously, it's far less expensive than a Moonwatch...but the cheapness manifests itself in the fit, finish, and experience of wearing the watch on the wrist. There is no argument to be made not to save up and buy a Moonwatch and forego the Lunar Pilot, other than the personal reasons of liking the design or the quartz accuracy (which are both valid reasons to decide upon).

Watches are stupid...lol

>pic unrelated. It's cheap, and I love it.

>>17836273
>I skipped Timex

>>17836286
yes, I cant stand their quartz second hand not aligned with the markers, and the one with the inner bezel is also dificult to align with the 12 o clock marker, it just constanly moves.
is 80% of Timex still from the Philippines or they went full chink like everybody does?

Looks cool, the dimples on the bracelet are mirror polish which is different. The color is not to my liking but it's a good design.

>>17836096
That's the price I would expect to pay when buying from an AD and getting a discount. That's probably what the price would be before all the increases.

>>17836276
>>17836281
now that the dust has settled, how's the seiko 5 gmt?

>>17836347
it's a watch among watches

>>17836105
No. The lowest used price is about $1000. You will not get it for less unless it has a lot of scratches. There is a lot of stock in different stores but if this sells out on the official site it may signal that prices wont go down further. I don't think you will find it and a price you will be happy with and move on with your life. There is nothing wrong with liking a watch but not be willing to pay for it, this is just another watch.

>>17836271
What Speedy is that? It looks like it has some sort of Lemania variant in it.

>>17836374
The one in focus is my Mark 40; it uses a Valjoux 7751. The one behind it is my Holy Grail, which uses a Lemania 5100

>pic related is a shot with the watches reversed.

>>17836347
a passageway to get a cheap gmt. movt has +45 / -35 seconds per day as stated from factory which is a bit stretched out. but I don't know from actual use how accurate they are. my Orient has +10 seconds per day straight from factory.

>>17835695

>>17836096
What's mechanical about it?

>>17836122
yes

>>17836199
>My fave pic of yours is still the one where the watch is 'hiding' behind the wall or glass or whatever it was. Fucking hilarious, beautiful, and direct....a wonderful shot.
nta but i remember that one, it was cool indeed.

>best alternative to the Universal Geneve Poulrouter'
So far the only (poorfag) alternative is this.

looking at tanks, some anon here said that the solos suck shit and to only look at musts
anyone have any insight into this?

For me it's the "I HAVE HIV" watch.

>>17835798
in what universe do they discount?

Terror watch reporting in

>>17836376
Could you please give me the ref number so I can ogle it on chrono24?

Guys, recommend me a watch that a bad motherfucker would use. Not an evil guy, but a bad motherfucker

>>17836605
f91w

>>17836605

>>17836605

Should I buy the Tissot Gentleman or the PRX as my first watch?

My taste is leaning more towards the Gentleman, but I find the PRX more interesting.
Also, I'd love my next watch, after a few years, to be an Omega Aqua Terra, which would replace the Gentleman, but it wouldn't replace the PRX...

So, what do you recommend?

>>17836595
Chad

>>17836614
>subsecond indices on a non-chronograph

so unnecessary

would get the PRX for the more clean design and the textured dial

>>17836607
>>17836608
>>17836612

What would your arguments be to conclude that these are bad motherfucker watches

>>17836614
I would get a Gentleman and a quartz PRX, and add a nice fun Swatch while I'm at it. Gentleman has a silicon spring so you don't have to worry about magnetism and you can also change the straps easily

>>17836619
Let's be real and not pretend it's done for anything other than design these days.

>>17836605
>that a bad motherfucker would use
I second Panerai

>>17836632
Me too, it's all they're good for.

>>17836614
The PRX with its ugly ass dial is one watch that I'll never understand the hype for.

>>17836633

You are saying most panerai have certain aesthetic?

>>17836614
left

>>17836639
Yes

i just looked up what a "chronometer" actually is. it's used for navigation at sea. wow, no modern watch has any business being called a chronometer. i'm pretty sure 99% of people using watches labeled as such would have no idea how to perform celestial navigation.

also makes me kinda sad how much modern technology as removed the necessity to learn complex skills. and i suppose that there's also less and less mechanical invention.

>>17836661
Just buy a binary watch and shut up

>>17836661
Every watch is a chronometer, it literally means 'to measure time'.

>>17836621
It literally says ALPHA on the dial.

>>17836608
I have a small penis: the watch

>>17836661
do YOU know how to perform celestial navigation? if not then what business do you have being smug about this?

>>17836605
Jeremy Clarkson wears Omega.

>>17836605
the toughest guy I know personally wears a SKX which hasn't been serviced in 10+ years. it doesn't even keep the correct time but his daughter gave it to him as a gift and he wears it religiously

>>17836635
It looks different than most other sub 1000 watches.
It looks like an expensive Genta watch, and it's very well crafted for the price. Movement aside, that watch could be priced for 2,000 and people would eat it up.

>>17836605
Omega
Only absolute gigachads wear Omega

>>17836671
>>17836686

Which omega would be the meanest omega?

>>17836679

What did he do to be the toughest guy you know?

>>17836679
I just had my fully working, 40+ yr old turtle serviced a month ago (watch from my childhood), 1st service. the watch repair guy told me there was no oil and was amazed with the decades of inside dirt as they swam in the cleaning soln.

>>17836707

>>17836704
Seamaster probably.

you cannot in good faith tell me that this looks better than a sub. it's hideous.

>>17836482
sorry I meant mecha as in giant fighting robots aesthetic

>>17836704
Moonwatch or Seamaster Aqua Terra

>>17836726
All watches with a rotating bezel look like dogshit

>>17836739
Moonwatch is a bit reddit.

>>17836012
but it's the best watch?

>>17836726
I always thought that's why people liked it, because it was an ugly outdated relic that james bond wore. I don't like it but I it makes sense for people that don't want something that looks up to date. It has an specific aesthetic.

>>17836704
Planet Ocean, Ultra Deep or Seamaster Chronograph

>>17836661
Whatever you don't read about diving records.

>>17836704
The biggest one you can find.

Pipelayer and bricklayer can wear those. You are thinking of lawyers

Should I trust the words that TGV says in his videos?

>>17836851
Trust no cunt in this game. Acquire your knowledge yourself and realize the value in most watches is just a meme perpetuated by marketing.
Go for the tech instead of marketing like this mf Chad right here >>17836199

Why do watchfags like him get so up in arms about smart watches and suits? Who fucking cares?

>>17836890
Why do you care if we care?

>>17836893
Because it's hilarious to watch people freak about something so inconsequential. It's like watching a cat and a cucumber.

What do you anons think about the new Green Aqua Terra? I honestly like it quite a bit.

>>17836911
Dunno, don't care, just buy a f-91w

>>17836911
Isn't it like 44mm

One of these days i will buy myself a sea-gull. They are magnificent. And evil.

>>17836911
that's the worldtimer, not the aqua terra

>>17836952
It's called "aqua Terra world time" because omega can't name their watches, they all have to be a speedmaster, seamaster, railmaster or constellation or whatever the dress watch is called

>>17836941
It's 43mm, still quite big, but I can't help but like the deep green color they went for.
>>17836952
If you really want to nitpick, at least check before you do, pic rel.

>>17836818
Yes, Holy Grail, as coined by the late great Chuck Maddox after he found one, didn't buy it, and unexpected spent lots of time looking for another one. Of all the Lemania 5100 variants in Speedmaster, this one is the most coveted due to the best legibility, relatively low production numbers, and sheer beauty.

>>17836820
The prices have skyrocketed, no doubt. If you really want one, just start saving. At the end of the day, no mechanical watch purchase today is emotion-free or a 'requirement'; they're all luxuries, even if they're 100$. You don't have to justify your purchase to anyone; all you have to do is be 100% happy with your purchase and wear it as much as you can.

If you do start seriously searching for one, just be aware that there are 3 known dials, 2 known bezels, 2+ handsets, 2 types of endlinks, and 2 types of crystals, in addition to other small details that you have to sift through. Just doing a Chrono24 search brings you some fully original, some with replacement parts, and some odd frankenwatches (though not necessarily made that way to rob anyone). As with any vintage watch, you should know your shit before dropping the dough.

>>17836960
>>17836974
yes i get it but most people call the aqua terra worldtimer the worldtimer and the aqua terra without a globe on it the aqua terra. it just makes more sense. like how confusing would it be if you called the planet ocean the seamaster?

>>17836983
Okay, fair enough the naming convention is quite fucked ._ .

>>17837066
I believe that's called an engineer or super.engineer bracelet.

>>17837066
Not sure of the part number. The watch is titanium, including the bracelet. I'll see if I have a shot or two of it.

>>17837114
4 Speedmasters, 2 Seamasters, two Quartz, and 2 pocket watches. I have a few shitters too (an old Rotary, a Seagull 1963, etc.), but that's it. Simple and enjoyable.

I'm wearing this today mostly.

What have you got in your collection, Fren?

>>17837118
You can find their clocks attached to bombs.

>>17837119
Why is seagull 1963 a shitter?
t. poorfag that just ordered one

>>17836032
it's a Rolex in the book

>>17837119
May I see them pocket watches?

>>17837123
Solely because it costs more to service it than to buy a new one if it breaks down. Mine runs very well, and was enjoyable for a time. But then I realized that it was just a placeholder for a Speedy. So, I don't wear it anymore. Still have good memories with it. I hope yours runs as well as mine did (+0.5 sec per day).

This, I've unfollowed everyone other than 2 small channels. Most of these faggots are just doubling down on muh overpriced watch brands despite them all admitting the market for flippers and grey traders is gone. I doubt I'd pay even $2000 for a Rolex unless it had real gold at this point its all just so boring.

This shit is what happens when your industry doesn't innovate for 20+ years and just shillls muh generic 80s styled watch.

>>17835357
Those are actually nice, this is what the market should have done 10 + years ago before they complexly lost to smart watches.

>>17836032
Yep Rolex has been fooling people with clever placed marketing for years.

Look at the bond movies. Not even half the watches were Rolex's, Tons were Omegas, Seikos and others.
